SENSIBLE DIVERSION.
Young Ladies' Cooking Clubs Formed 10,
Highly Useful Purposes.

Highly Useful Purposes.
II is now quite fashionable diver
sion for young ladies and girls to form
clubs for the purpose of learning how
to cook both plain and fancy articles Of
food. Clubs generally number eigh,
or ten girls. Each one cooks at home
some one article suitable for luncheon,
and then all meet at the house of one
of the members, where the table is set
and every thing is in readiness for their
entertainments The young lady hostess
provides one substantial course, such as
chops and peas, or beefsteak and to.
mato sauce. Every thing else Is con.
tributed by the guests, who, when they
arrive promptly at the hour stated,
hand to the servant whatever they have
prepared. with directions whether it 10
to be kept hot or placed on the table
lust as it is. etc. The hostess, after
setting the table tastefully, orders three
or four sets of plates heated, and extra
knives and forks placed near at hand.
After tho arrival of the guests, lunch
eon.is Immediately announced and is
more or less elaborate, as the case may
be.
1t has been my privilege to watch the
growth Of one or more of these clubs,
| and in order to stimuli tc young people
to follow the good example Of these en-.
terprising and surprisingly successful
cooks, ventured to ask for their reel.
pes, and in sending them to me the!
kindly enclosed the menu OF their Last
! luncheon, and described the table
decorations. The lunch cards were
made of yellow blotting paper, on
which the names were written with
gold paint Through the corner Of
each card was thrust yellow daffodiL

ed as center piece was square OF yel-
low blotting-paper. on which was
painted, in rough outline with gold
paint, dainty jonquil pattern, which
looked quite like the shadow of the
bright yellow blossoms in the bowl.
The napkins were japanese, of dull
yellow color Oranges were arranged
with yellow bananas on either side Of
the center-piece. The prize consisted
of a string of amber beads.
With very little trouble, the effect
produced was quite novel and pretty,
and can be copied readily, unlike
many things that require the outlay Of
much time and money. The prize at
these clubs is awarded to her who has
the most votes for what she has cooked,
votes being east at the end OF the
luncheon. Cheer.

Should water not be found within u
reasonable distance from the mines, the
great value of the developments, will
finally induce tiien of means to bring
some far.of stream to the district and
then nearly every claim in an area of
